RUD-compact GRIP chains (pair) size 4020 no. 4716958

RUD's Grip chains are perfect for occasional UK use or to take on the family skiing holiday. They're quick and easy to fit, and there's no need to move the car when fitting. The first picture shows both the outside of the wheel (left) and the inside of the wheel (right), and the smart new grey and orange colouring. Other features:

• 4mm chrome-manganese fine-grained alloy steel chain – wedge-shaped for better grip. Each link is 12mm high.
• The diagonal configuration track pattern gives you better grip than a standard diamond shape and there's no risk of the chain getting stuck in any central groove on your tyres.
• Reversible chain mesh for a long lifetime, but even so you should avoid grinding them down on the tarmac!
• Supplied in a strong zipped nylon bag which velcros to the carpet in the boot. It's much easier to use than a plastic case, and you can kneel on it when fitting the chains.

If you want to trade up a level we recommend RUD's easy2go chains; these are not much more expensive but they are continuously re-tensioned thanks to a "Permanent Tensioning Device" so you don't need to stop and tighten the chains.

Why choose RUD? Simple - they're reckoned to be the best. They're a German company who pioneered modern snow chains. But don't just take our word for it; RUD are official suppliers to Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Saab, Volvo, and VW, amongst others, and also supply the British Army - ample evidence that their snow chains are as good as they come.

Important safety information: These chains will fit around these tyres but it is possible that they are not suitable for use with your particular make and model of car. If you have only chosen your tyre size to reach this page, and you would like to buy RUD chains, please visit our "What fits my vehicle?" database to check whether they are approved or not. You should in any event always check your vehicle handbook before buying snow chains made by any manufacturer. If it says e.g. "The use of snow chains is not permitted", this is important information!
